IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

In the inside

And the outside!

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend: 

good food and great fun.

We are all decorated for Christmas, and we have a good 6 inches of snow.  Our past few Decembers have been brown.  Hopefully, this December continues to stay white.

The boys have hit their groove in school after a bit of a shaky start.  They are working hard (most of the time), and their behavior is quite appropriate at school (most of the time).

Ben and Jonah continue to love being uncles to their nephew.  And thankfully, Baby J loves his uncles!  He is very entertained watching and listening to them.  He gives them many smiles and often babbles to them.  

It's very sweet to watch.

Jonah is going to start occupational therapy outside of school.  School did not want to add OT back onto his plan so we decided we would pursue the help privately.  We are working on the goals of safety with life and job skills and how to interact safely with babies and children.  Jonah loves to show affection to Baby J, but he is not always able to grade his strength when giving hugs or touches.  We are very excited for this additional help for Jonah.

The boys start Special Olympics Basketball skills in February.  We are grateful for this time off since football and bowling/Esports are done, but we are excited for them to be able to have a winter activity.

The boys continue to be super healthy except for Ben's dental issues which will hopefully be fixed with January's surgery.  

They are strong and smart young boys- so much to be thankful for!
